Has anyone gone through the process of opting out of the extra child tax credit? I am trying to register with the site, but it seems like quite an intrusive process. I know they need to verify identity, but I worry it isn't secure. We are right on the edge of being eligible and not eligible for the extra payments so want to opt out so we don't owe a ton next year.

We did. It is “intrusive”, but it is the IRS, we figured they already know everything about us. Since it is online they need ID, and they do a facial recognition to make sure you are you. And you have to do it for both parents if filing jointly. Most people probably won’t bother, but we really didn’t want the advance payments.

It definitely feels invasive, but they already have most of the information with the exception of your face

I started the opting-out process, but changed my mind when the system mentioned facial recognition. No thanks. I’ll accept the monthly payment even though that’s not my preference.
I’ve been waiting for the Peas to confirm what I thought was being asked! Thank you!
